I have an open day/interview coming up soon for the Business Accounting and Finance course, run by PricewaterhouseCoopers, at Newcastle University, and I was wondering if there were any past pupils/earlier interviewees who would be able to give me a basic insight into the kind of questions they ask you at the assessment, and the kind of format run at the event?

I've got 22nd Feb mate. From what I've been told, the questions are pretty standard, such as:

- Why you want to do the degree course
- What is accountancy, audit etc
- Who are PwC, what do they do
- Why Newcastle and why PwC
- Your skills and qualities, ability to work in teams etc
- Questions specific to your Personal Statement and Supp Form
- Questions on a current business/finance event

Interview is quite long so things are likely to be covered in detail.

Personally I only have a week of finance work experience so I'm most likely going to get slaughtered...

hi, could anyone tell me how much time did it take before the university made a decision about your application. I applied in the last week of november and I am yet to hear back.

I am the same as you I applied in November and haven't heard anything yet. I also applied to the accounting and finance 3 year course and they replied after 6 days so I was wondering why this course is taking so long, if you find anything out please let me know.
